A purple cotton fabric frame (with tiny white polka dots) surrounds a photo of a Ken doll walking through what almost looks like white snow. He wears black felt boots, a pair of rust colored trousers, an off-white or ivory colored shirt with lace cuffs, and a long brown cloak. The words "free pattern" appear above and slightly at an angle to the photo. There's a ChellyWood.com logo in one corner.

What to do when you don’t have quite enough scrap fabric… #SewingTips #DollClothesPatterns

After my youngest daughter moved away to college, I boxed up a lot of the things she left behind in what used to be her bedroom, and I found a lovely satin pajama top that dated back to her middle school or early high school days, when she was pretty small. She has more of a woman’s figure now, so I assumed this little pajama … Continue reading What to do when you don’t have quite enough scrap fabric… #SewingTips #DollClothesPatterns

Here we see a turquoise blue linen border around a photo of a vintage Ideal Velvet doll, looking at her from the back, regarding the jeans she's wearing from the waist down. Her long hair has been pulled up, and we can see that these are jeans or dungarees with a high waist, like the kinds of pants or jeans that were popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The doll stands with her back to us. The words above the photo say "free pattern" and below that is the logo for Chelly Wood dot com.

Chatty Cathy Patterns, Talking Dolls, and Vintage Fabric @ ChellyWood.com #Collectibles #DollClothesPatterns

Have you ever heard of Chatty Cathy dolls? According to Wikipedia, in the 1960’s, Chatty Cathy “was the second most popular doll of the 1960s after Barbie.”* Like Barbie, these dolls were the brain child of Ruth Handler. When you pulled a string, Cathy would say endearing phrases like, “I love you” and “Let’s play school.” But these weren’t the first talking dolls. You’ll probably … Continue reading Chatty Cathy Patterns, Talking Dolls, and Vintage Fabric @ ChellyWood.com #Collectibles #DollClothesPatterns
